I know it's tempting to say that because the PT sucked, then the ST is quite likely to suck too.

But I don't buy that, the PT was a perfect storm of awfulness on every creative level. It's just not possible to be that bad again. The only thing the PT pulled off with style was in creating a roadmap for future filmmakers like JJ showing them how NOT to make a Star Wars film. I think the whole film world has learnt from that chapter in history and will do everything it can to see it is never repeated.
